This whole article is stupid, and makes some of the most ridiculous comparisons imaginable.
C'mon - comparing flying a single person to Mars with no chance of coming back is like Lindburgh flying to Paris??? Is he saying that Mars is populated with (to quote the Simpsons) cheese-eating surrender monkeys? Or maybe he's suggesting that upon arriving at Mars, the astronaut will have an unlimited supply of hot women and baguettes?
And the whole 'constant communication' - umm.. last time I checked, Mars was between 3 and 21 light-minutes from Earth.. that means you say something, and get a response in a half-hour later.. yeah, that's really constant. It would be more like a video postcard than a conversation.
"Somebody A murdered someone B, Someone A played this violent video game. Therefore video games are resposible for someone B's death." You're not quite correct. Sometimes it goes like this:
Somebody A murdered someone B, Someone A didn't play violent video games. Therefore video games are responsible for someone B's death.
How can we reject in advance one argument while allowing other arguments to be heard endlessly? What the hell are you talking about?
The *COURTS* have found that he's bringing baseless lawsuits. They did this because *OTHER LAWYERS* complained about him. What the hell does that have to do with people protesting abortion?
So the real question lurking behind it all is just how responsible can anyone be for creating material that will set a lunatic on a bad outburst. No, that's begging the question.
First prove that these "unstable people" are being triggered by the content, and not by simply reacting to other factors in their lives.
that's precisely why my ears perked up upon hearing this, for hosting providers that want to provide secure remote file access, this is awesome My question is: what took so long?

You know, it's not an option for movies, either. And a $7 ticket for a two-hour movie costs more, hour for hour, than a $60 game you can finish in 20 hours. Besides oranges, are there any other fruits you'd like to compare that apple to?
If a movie came with a 'license agreement', which you could only read after you'd payed for your ticket, and the 'agreement' said that you were prohibited from discussing the movie with friends afterwards, then you might have a point (even though it would still be a horrible analogy.)
The last time we elected a woman to lead Canada she got bored after a few weeks, took her pension, and went home. The last time? When have Canadians ever elected a woman to lead Canada?
The only female PM in our history (Kim Campbell) was one that took over after the previous PM retired.
Speaking as a photographer who has had his work used in print and on-line, (including photos of Mexico used in brochures put out by the Mexico department of Tourism), I can say that *NOBODY* deserves to get paid for mediocre work, and if you're going through a 'dry spell', then you're doing mediocre work.
If this recent infamous Tom Cruise video is an example of the emotional state of your average Scientologist, I think there's good reason to treat them as if they were dangerous and capable of just about anything. I'm reminded of this line from The Matrix:
"You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many are so hopelessly dependent on the system, they'll fight to protect it."
This is the problem with cult members - they're told that they need to be positive and loving, but the cult leaders say "hurt these people" and they do. They're too brainwashed to understand that the actions of the cult leaders are antithetical to what they preach.
if we send Canucks and French on a lend-lease program to the UK, I'm sure they'd be willing to show British women how much more fun it is to have sex if you don't do it British style I think you're misinterpreting the results.
British women like sex just fine - it's the men that don't - at least not enough to give it up for a bigscreen TV.
Many of the tricks used in CSS Zen Garden entries, clever and attractive as they may be, are exactly the sort of thing you don't want in a usable, accessible, search-engine-friendly web site Usable and accessible are debatable, but name one search engine that parses CSS and uses it to judge content.

being a Vietnam War prisoner, I don't think McCain will take our soldiers' lives so capriciously for the sake of building "political capital." Why not? He's done exactly that to get where he is now.
At one time, he vehemently opposed the US's torture of prisoners abroad. Then he had a meeting with Bush, and suddenly he's got no problem with it.
Either someone has something on him, or he sold his convictions for power. In any case, he's lost my respect.
in 2005] 64 percent believe that Saddam Hussein had strong links to Al Qaeda How is it FUCKING possible that this has happened? Simple - because that's what the US Government wants them to believe.
all that time spent on an Apple II was really a waste. I don't know a thing about Mac anymore Uhh - if you learned computing on an Apple II, and you're wondering why that didn't translate to knowledge of the Mac, you have bigger problems than just wasting time.
Can't someone from the EFF claim to be the blogger, and have them collect $10,000 or whatever. Why would the EFF have to claim to be the blogger?
I guess this twonk can try and sue them if he wants... Considering the general consensus of this is that a lawsuit is the likely outcome, why not simply finger a lawyer you don't like to collect the $10K?
You know, I heard that the anonymous lawyer is Kevin McBride... Or was it David Boies?
Go overboard with criticism much? Not at all. He's obviously a little kid, trying to insult people by using 'grown-up' words. I was just rubbing his nose in it a bit.
revoke doesn't have to mean previous versions Yes, it does. That's what the word means. You've made it quite clear that reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, but you might find it beneficial to look up words before making a fool of yourself.
I gotta ask though - does it hurt to be that stupid?
oh please, your quote doesn't prove jack shit Yeah, except for the part where the author uses the word REVOKE, which you said was "spin from the GPL crowd", right?

Slashdot Mirror
They won't be emerging from the almost dead, and they won't have $100M, and it's not 17%
They're still almost dead - this deal doesn't change anything about the fact that they owe a ton of cash to Novell, and will soon owe more to IBM.
The $100M is really $5M, plus a LOAN of *up to* $100M.
And the loan's interest rate is 17% plus prime (so closer to 21%.)
This is like you claiming that MBNA invested $50,000 in you when you signed up for a new credit card.

This article is *really* poorly thought out.
I most certainly don't. Unless they can take out Cheney at the same time.
You know why the democrats haven't had Bush impeached? Because they'd rather have him than President Evil.
2) Cost of operation (this includes space required).
3) Cost of disposal.
Nuclear only has two of these issues (1 & 3) .. because refined uranium grows on trees, and nuclear plants don't take up any space?

They could just be like any other government entity and confiscate MS's property.
Hmm, now I wonder just what MS has that's worth $1.3B? Windows/Office copyright perhaps?

Perhaps since it's not enough of a motivation, we should just eliminate all software copyrights and just use patents then.
